Interlochen creative writing students earned 54 awards at the recent Midwest regional Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. Three students received the prestigious "Gold Key" for their work and will move on to the national competition.

Robert Willoughby was a mentor to generations of flutists and continues to teach at age 93. Recently, he presented Interlochen with an exceptional gift: a rare golden flute, handcrafted by Jack Moore. The instrument has opened new opportunities, not just for performers but in the science classroom.
